The goal of this map was to plot the locations that Dolly Parton has performed in over the years. Venue names were sourced from the concert archives site and OpenStreetMap was used to find the latitude and longatude value for each venue.
During the map challenge, the constraint of spending one day per map meant that data could only be gathered between 1972 and 2007. The Map has Since been updated to include all of Dolly Parton's concert venues up to 2022. Both maps can be accessed below:
OpenStreetMap used to find lat/long values for each concert venue.
Data goes from 1972 to 2007 - Concert archive has data up until the present but after more than 4 hrs to gather the data for the first 185 concerts, and with another 219 to take me to the present day, it was taking too long to gather the data.
Hence the map does not show data from 2008-2022.
This map could be really interesting though and the completed dataset is worth sharing on my public dataset repo so I'll probably come back to it.
Might also be interesting to play with the hexabin size a bit more.

Might be a cool project so set up a repo for doing these kinds of maps for lots of different artists...
